When I first got into dropshipping on eBay, I spent way too much time trying to guess what might sell. I’d try different titles, price points, and images and still, sales were all over the place.

Everything changed when I learned about Sniping.

Sniping is simple: you copy what’s already working. If another seller is making consistent sales, it means they’ve already figured out the best title, price, product type, and images. All you have to do is match their listing and slightly beat them on price.

Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Find a Dropshipper: Start by searching Amazon best-seller titles on eBay. Look for sellers offering the exact same item for a higher price. These are likely dropshippers.

2. Identify Their Winners: Go to their eBay profile and filter by “Sold Listings.” Focus on listings with multiple recent sales.

3. Check the Going Price: Copy the title of the winning product and search eBay by “Lowest Price + Shipping.” Find the cheapest seller with the exact item.

4. Undercut: Use the “Sell Now” button to list the item, matching the details but pricing it a few cents cheaper. That small difference can give you the edge.

5. Repeat: Keep repeating this method across as many products as you can. Over time, you’ll build a store full of proven products at competitive prices.

Example: A seller moves 20+ units of a $30 kitchen tool. You list the same item at $27.99. Same listing, better deal, guess who wins?

This strategy works because you're not guessing. You’re piggybacking on someone else’s data and just offering a better value.

Sniping isn’t just smart, it’s scalable.
